For the first scenario:

1. Mahesh's capital: ₹50,000 + ₹10,000 (loan) = ₹60,000

2. Ramesh's capital: ₹50,000 + ₹60,000 (capital) = ₹110,000

3. Total capital = ₹60,000 + ₹110,000 = ₹170,000

4. Interest on Mahesh's loan = ₹10,000 * 10% * 3/12 = ₹250 (annually, it's 6% for 3 months)

5. Divisible profit = ₹15,200 - ₹250 = ₹14,950

6. Each partner's share of profit = ₹14,950 / 2 = ₹7,475

For the second scenario:

1. X's capital: ₹80,000

2. Y's capital: ₹60,000

3. X's salary: ₹600 * 12 = ₹7,200

4. Y's commission: ₹5,000

5. Interest on X's capital = ₹80,000 * 10% = ₹8,000

6. Interest on Y's capital = ₹60,000 * 10% = ₹6,000

7. Transfer to Reserve Fund: ₹3,000

8. Divisible profit = ₹49,400 - (X's salary + Y's commission + Interest on X's capital + Interest on Y's capital + Transfer to Reserve Fund) = ₹49,400 - (₹7,200 + ₹5,000 + ₹8,000 + ₹6,000 + ₹3,000) = ₹20,200

9. X's share of profit = ₹20,200 * (₹80,000 / ₹140,000) = ₹11,514.29

10. Y's share of profit = ₹20,200 * (₹60,000 / ₹140,000) = ₹8,685.71

For the journal entries and Profit and Loss Appropriation Account, I'll provide the format. Let's start with the first scenario:

**Journal Entries:**

1. For interest on Mahesh's loan:

   - Debit: Interest on Loan Account

   - Credit: Mahesh's Capital Account

   

**Profit and Loss Appropriation Account:**

| Particulars | Amount (₹) |

|------------------------|------------|

| Profit (before items) | 15,200 |

| Less: Interest on Loan | 150 |

| Divisible Profit | 15,050 |

| Mahesh's Share | 7,525 |

| Ramesh's Share | 7,525 |

Now, let's proceed with the second scenario.

**Journal Entries:**

1. For X's salary:

   - Debit: Salary Account

   - Credit: X's Capital Account

2. For Y's commission:

   - Debit: Commission Expense Account

   - Credit: Y's Capital Account

3. For interest on X's capital:

   - Debit: Interest on X's Capital Account

   - Credit: X's Capital Account

4. For interest on Y's capital:

   - Debit: Interest on Y's Capital Account

   - Credit: Y's Capital Account

5. For transfer to Reserve Fund:

   - Debit: Reserve Fund Account

   - Credit: Profit and Loss Appropriation Account

**Profit and Loss Appropriation Account:**

| Particulars | Amount (₹) |

|------------------------|------------|

| Profit (before items) | 49,400 |

| Less: X's Salary | 7,200 |

| Less: Y's Commission | 5,000 |

| Less: Interest on X's Capital | 8,000 |

| Less: Interest on Y's Capital | 6,000 |

| Less: Transfer to Reserve Fund | 3,000 |

| Divisible Profit | 20,200 |

| X's Share | 11,514.29 |

| Y's Share | 8,685.71 |

These entries and the P&L Appropriation Account reflect the distribution of profits and allocation of expenses as per the partnership deed.
